The kid has great hands, and some speed. Not Helm fast mind you but he can turn it on. And he is one of if not the best play-maker that we have in Grand Rapids, but he can pot them as well. Kind of reminiscent of an Adam Oates type at this stage.

"If a guy slashed me, I'd grab his stick, pull him up alongside me and elbow him in the head."

I certainly don't mind Emmerton, but all-in-all hes a pretty bland prospect. I expect Mursak to be the 12 forward next season, and we’ll probably keep at least one of Draper and Miller. That means that Emmerton will be up against it to make the roster, and sadly I think we’ll lose him on waivers. He’s a decent prospect, what I like most about him is his on-ice vision, his solid defensive game, and that he just does everything reasonably well. I’d certainly like to have him up here next season, and I’d hate to lose him for nothing, but I just can’t see the Wings losing all of Modano, Miller and Draper which is probably what it’ll take for Emmerton to crack the roster.
